Very cute book!,
By
This review is from: It's Not Easy Being a Bunny (Beginner Books(R)) (Hardcover)
Poor P.J. Bunny doesn't like his huge family, his big ears, nor does he like eating cooked carrots every day. So, off he goes unstopped by ANY of his family members, to see what other options are out there. He tries being a bear, a skunk, an oppossum, and a bird, but each endeavor only finds P.J. very unsatisfied with the results. He eventually returns home to being a bunny, and enjoying being with his very large family.
I think this teaches kids to anticipate the troubles P.J. is going to encounter trying to be something he is not. It also shows how to come back home for support and acceptance when things don't work out the way you'd planned. This is a very entertaining and cute book and one that we definitely recommend in our house. Highly recommend, especially for Easter

Great Bedtime story,

This review is from: It's Not Easy Being a Bunny (Beginner Books(R)) (Hardcover)
This is a favorite bedtime story that my 4 year old just adores. Ultimately it's about being happy with who you are and it teaches the lesson in a simple, fun to read story.

The first book my child read by herself!,
By Christine Louise Hohlbaum "award-winning auth... (near Munich, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: It's Not Easy Being a Bunny (Beginner Books(R)) (Hardcover)
This book is so funny -- as the name of the characters reveal, the Funnybunnies have loads of adventures to which every child can relate. P.J. isn't happy with his looks. In fact, he despises his long ears and even rejects his cooked carrots at mealtime. He sets off to find his identity by trying out various families in the community. He isn't comfortable with the bears, the birds, the beavers, pigs, possums or moose. Ultimately, P.J. recognizes the merits of being a bunny after all. This uplifting tale is easy for first readers because of its repetition. Younger siblings will enjoy the brilliant illustrations. Parents will love it for the ability to shout "Mooook" like a moose in the middle of the story. I'm particularly fond of this book as it is the first book my daughter ever read in English (we are raising them bilingually in Germany). Hats off to the Funnybunnies, and the author, Marilyn Sadler, who created them. Christine Louise Hohlbaum, author of "Diary of a Mother" and "SAHM I Am: Tales of a Stay-at-Home Mom in Europe", lives near Munich with her husband and two children. www.diaryofamother.com
